Since time immemorial, butterflies have symbolized renewal and rebirth. They are the symbol of new beginnings, making the colorful winged creatures the perfect harbinger of happiness at weddings. And indeed, butterfly releases are becoming a tradition at a growing number of weddings. If you're looking for a way to commemorate your joining in a unique and memorable way, imagine the reaction of your guests to a butterfly release at your wedding.
Imagine the shimmer of wings arising from an open box and rising into the air to surround your wedding party. It's like watching the visual representation of hope and blessings pouring from the box, lifting into the air and alighting, perhaps, on the bride's shoulder to bestow a symbolic blessing on the ceremony. A wedding butterfly release is a powerfully memorable symbol of hope and good wishes showered on the happy couple. And unlike tossing rice or confetti, a release doesn't harm the environment or other creatures.
What Butterflies Symbolize
Since ancient times, butterflies have been seen as symbols of transformation and change, often chosen to represent the soul. The emergence of the butterfly from its cocoon is a powerful symbol of new beginnings, of a new life going forth into the world. Butterflies are also symbols of love and its amazing powers of transformation, and of youth, celebration and springtime - the time of year when all things are renewed and made fresh. A wedding release brings all of these meanings together into a beautiful, memorable moment you'll treasure forever. What better symbol could you choose to represent the beginning of your new life together and the transformation of two single lives into one joyous union, going forth together into the world?
Which Butterflies Are Used for a Wedding Butterfly Release?
Most companies that provide wedding butterflies offer a combination of Monarch butterflies and Painted Lady butterflies, both of which are native throughout North America. Both Monarch and Painted Ladies are brown, black and orange, brightly colored and distinctly patterned. Because Monarch butterflies are larger and hardier, the best companies offer only Monarch butterflies for their wedding release packages.
Wedding Butterfly Release Ceremonies
Many wedding planners and event venues offer special wedding butterfly release ceremonies that include poems and prayers to say, or legends to read as part of your ceremony. You can also create your own butterfly release ceremony, or choose to release your butterflies at specific points during your wedding.
Wedding butterflies are usually provided in individual release boxes that can be handed out to your guests to be released on cue when the bride and groom leave the church, for example. You can also purchase butterflies for wedding release in larger baskets and release boxes that hold one to five dozen butterflies for mass butterfly releases at special moments during the ceremony - when the bride and groom kiss or exchange vows, for example.
If you're looking for a unique and memorable ceremony for your wedding day, consider a butterfly release. For more information, contact a reputable butterfly breeder that provides butterflies for wedding release and other events.
